[Year 12 IT Apps] Brilliant VITTA conference - congratulations to all who worked on this outstanding event

Don't know about the latest government  idea about wizards do away with the
need to learn more in depth IT skills, but it was very informative.

maybe other people would like to comment about new VET IT initiatives
